Rating Game (END)

|3rd POV|

Riley looks at her king, who flies to the ground with a single punch. After snapping from her shock, she tried to follow her king, but before she could do that, Kuroka appeared next to her and punched her right on her head.

With her enchanted fist, Kuroka throws Riley in the opposite direction of her king. She then appears next to Riley and punches her to the ground.

*BOOM*

The impact created a big crater on the ground. Riley groaned in pain while getting up from the ground. She can see Kuroka slowly descend to the ground with a smug smile on her face that makes Riley mad.

"Get away, cat! I need to go back to my king."

"Can't do that, nyaa."

"Then you leave me no choice."

Riley charges toward Kuroka and appears in front of her in the blink of an eye before punching her. When Riley's fist connects with Kuroka's body, her fist glows a little and explodes on impact.

Sadly for her, when her punch hit her opponent, Kuroka's body cracked and disappeared into a mote of light.

"What? Illusion?"

Seeing that she is affected by an illusion, Riley flares up her demonic power and tries to break the illusion. However, when she sees that the world has not changed, she can only come to one conclusion.

"Physical illusion."

"That's right."

Riley spun around and tried to punch Kuroka, who appeared behind her, but before she could do that, the black Nekoshou punched her away with a Senjutsu enchanted punch. After punching Riley away, Kuroka then writes something on the air.

Ten Youjutsu seals appear in the air before a cloud of purple mist appears around Kuroka. The fog spread out and engulfed Riley, who was on the ground.

"Mist? No. URGH!"

Riley coughs out blood after a second inhaling the poison Kuroka summons. This is one of the new techniques Kuroka invented after reading the book about curses and poison from the Potterverse.

This mist is not only poison mist. It also contains a curse. The curse Kuroka uses is called Internal Organ Melting curse. This curse will melt the internal organ of any person cursed by this curse.

Kuroka cannot copy the direct curse, but with the help of Youjutsu, she can make a weaker version of it. This curse will slowly but surely eat up her enemy organ once her target inhales the poison. The longer they inhale the poison, the faster this effect becomes.

Riley quickly flies high to the air getting out from the mist. However, before she could get far away, someone threw three pieces of jewelry that appeared next to Riley's head. She looks at the gem and widens her eyes.

*BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM*

Kuroka looks at Rin, who throws the jewel from the ground and says.

"Rin? Why are you here?"

"Huh? I'm here because of the plan…. You forgot about the plan, didn't you?"

"I-I don't know what you're talking about, nyaa."

"Haaaaa… Riser said that I need to help you fight against that Queen."

"I can take care of her, nyaa. Look at her. She's almost defeated."

"You really did not listen, huh? Look"

Kuroka looks up and widens her eyes when she sees Riley's body return to its prime. The injuries to Kuroka and Rin have already disappeared.

"What is happening?"

"It was her sacred gear. It allows her to reset her body and the equipment around her."

"That is cheating!"

"That's what sacred gear does, cheat. Anyway, Riser said that this sacred gear has a limit of how many times it can reset someone's body."

"Meaning that we can go all out!"

Kuroka immediately charges toward Riley, leaving Rin, who releases a tired sigh.

"Stupid, lazy cat."

After releasing another sigh, Rin takes a handful of gems from her pouch and activates it. A second later, a longbow made of jewels appeared in Rin's hand, and the other gem changed into an arrow.

A second later, an arrow flies toward Riley with a rainbow color surrounding the arrow. Kuroka, sensing the incoming attack, disengaged. A second later, a rainbow explosion is happening. This is one of the special gems Rin has.

With the Zelretch help. Rin can gather energy from Second True Magic, Kaleidoscope. The explosion is powerful enough that Riley needs to use her sacred gear once again.

"Hey, she is mine!"

"Heh"

Rin releases a haughty expression that makes Kuroka mad. The Nekoshou roar before creating thirty magic circles above her and start to write thirty Youjutsu characters in the air. A hail of magic starts to attack Riley, who is desperately dodging the spell coming at her.

Each of Kuroka's spells is fast enough for Riley to dodge, and the number is too much for Riley to make a counterattack.

When Kuroka finished her Youjutsu seal, a massive magic circle filled with Youjutsu characters appeared above her. A second later, a poison mist begins to fill the forest. The fog is so thick that Riley cannot see more than one meter away from her.

Riley tries to fly even higher, but to her surprise, she cannot move her body. She looks around, and she can see a pitch-black chain lock her movement. Riley tries her best to get out, but she cannot do that. She even uses her Sacred Gear to last a little longer, but after a few minutes, the judge decides to teleport Riley away from the arena before she dies.

Sensing Riley has vanished from her mist, Kuroka dispels her spell and looks at Rin with a smug expression.

"I win."

"This is not a competition, you dumb cat."

"No matter, I win, nyaa!"

Before Rin could say anything, a pillar of fire appeared far away from their current location.

~Riser location~

Riser creates a massive pillar of fire with Antrian in the middle of the pillar. Riser can see Antrian struggle to maintain his barrier made of the Power of Destruction. When he manages to get out from the pillar of fire, Riser says.

"Where is the haughty Bael young master from before? You said that you could beat me with ease. I'm still standing here, you know?"

"Shut up!"

Antrian throws a ball made of Power of Destruction toward Riser, who dodges it with ease. Antrian gets more frustrated when he sees Riser continue to dodge his attack. This has been happening for the last five minutes.

Riser dodges all Antrian attacks and makes his own attack that cannot be dodged by Antrian, who can only take the attack or block it.

"Stop dodging, you coward! Can you do anything more than run away?!?"

Riser's eyebrows raise up at Antrian's taunt.

'Does he really say that?' Riser thought.'I just burn him using my power, and he says that I can only run away. You know what? Fine.'

Riser suddenly stops dodging and takes the three balls made of Power of Destruction to the face.

"Hah! Take that! I won!"

Antrian's celebration was cut short as Riser, still standing there, did not really care about the attack he just received. Antrian grit his teeth and fire another fifteen balls of destruction, and just like before, Riser just stands there and takes it.

Riser looks at Antrian and releases a fake yawn.

"That's it?"

"Shut up!"

Antrian creates a spear made of Power of Destruction and throws it toward Riser. The spear pierces through Riser's head, and Antrian smirks when he sees his attack hit. His eyes widen when he sees Riser still standing there while his head regenerates from nothing.

"Phenex clan is not known for their attack. No. We are known as the hardest devil to kill. Our regeneration is the one feared by the others, not our attack. Even the great Zekram Bael cannot kill the first Phenex with his power."

"Heh. Your ancestor is dead, and Lord Zekram is still alive. That means lord Zekram is holding back when he attacks your ancestor."

When Antrian said that, Zekram bael, who watched the fight, frowned. He and Jarius (First head of the Phenex clan) are great friends, and he does not like someone insulting his best friend.

"Do you even read the history book? My ancestor died from shielding a young devil from the full power of Big G in the sky."

"Heh. Keep telling yourself that"

Riser sigh for a second before deciding that he has enough of hearing Antrian's word. Riser flares up his demonic power and looks at Antrian right in the eyes.

"What? Are you angry, I-ARGH!"

Before Antrian could finish his word, he suddenly screamed in pain. He did not know what was happening, but he could feel his blood boiling inside his body. This is what Riser can do now. He can heat up anything within his eyesight.

As long as their magic resistance is not high enough to block his control, he can kill his enemy by boiling their blood. Because of his natural magic resistance, Antrian's blood takes a little bit longer to boil. Sadly for him, it means that he will experience the most painful thing he will ever experience.

After a few seconds of screaming, the judge teleported him away from the arena. With Antrian defeated, Riser won the Rating Game.
